Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I never said anyone shouldn't have children.

whose children are you proposing to teach to care for the planet?

children up for adoption

I never said anyone shouldn’t have children.

you're right, but the conversation was definitely about eugenics propaganda. if you're not saying "don't have children" then i really apologize, but the tone of the conversation seemed to be "don't have kids. you can adopt instead!"

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so you'll adopt them and brainwash them into an ideology. it just doesn't have a good ring.

"brainwash them into an ideology" excellent leap my dude
